An ill-natured word spoken without re- flection fastens the charge of impropriety on a pretty woman guilty of nothing worse than high spirits of youth, and that want of caution which 'so often accompanies these high spirits mated with innocence. Want of reflection is the undoing on her side, as well as on that of the ill-nature which destroys her for want of thought rath- er than for overplus of malice. Because she 1 is brisk and bright, she is, therefore, assum- ed to be light and fast. Her frankness is made to look like impudence, her gayety like immodesty. When she is good tempered she is coarse; and her very oourage is insensi: tive rather than brave. As for her manners to men, they are shameless, and no other word is to be said.

A..- In some houses gossip of this kind abounds. The talk is all of people, never of things: and when you get into the habit of talking about people. you necessarily slip into that of ill-nature and slanderous in. sinuation. It is so much easier to dispraise ‘ than to praise ; and ill-natured criticism can be made amusing, while encomiums are apt to be heavy when not cloying. Besides, ill- nature reacts in a kind of reflected light on one’s own person. When we condemn our dear friend for this fault and that,natnra.lly the corollary is that we ourselves are free of that special sin, and look at the world so far with clear eyes. __The p_ot calling the kettle black is a. very silly performance ;and when Satan and Sin fall out, the little demons laugh for joy. So that, unless we think to hide our own ill-domg by exaggerating that of another, we are supposed to stand free from those moral troubles by which We say our neighbours have been scored andscratch- ed. And even the careless and good-natur- ed, who give themselves up to the fatal habit of slanderous insinuation and ill- natur- ed commentary, are not quite without a conception of self in their lives, are not quite ignorant of that inner glow which ac- colppaniee the‘siiarp speech; against another ,,,,L14_1____ -z LL- 'vâ€" 4-6; not disdain the. thankiulness of the cleanly-living Pharisee that he was not as that sinful Pnblican yonder, whose living was rfiadeloutof the sufi'erings of others and whose soul was therefore spotted with guilt, even as a leopard’s skin is spotted with stains un- changeable; The rosy lips of lovely woman have been sung about. by poets of all ages.

X The notion that men have of their own worth, says George McDonald, and of claims founded thereon, is amazing ; most a mixing of all is what a man will set up to himself as the standard of the woman he will marry. What the woman may have a right to claim never enters his thought. He never doubts the right or righteousness of aspiring to wed a woman between whose nature and his lies a gulf, wide as between an angel praising God and a devil taking refuge from him in a swine. Never a shadow of compunction l crosses the leprous soul as he stretches forth ‘ his arms to enfold the clean woman. Ah, white dove, thou must lie for a while among ‘ the pots ! If only thy mother be not more i to blame than the wretch that but act3 I after his kind.

To see only how a man will be content to he himself what he acorns another for being, might well be enough to send anyone crying to the God there may be to come between him and himself.

Bnt. is Regarded as a Safe Mun. “Lafayette Truman, engineer of the Erie train that ran into the Eastern Illinois brain Friday night. has killed twenty-two men.” said O. R. McCullough, a. brother engineer of the Chicago and Erie road, at the Clifton last. night. “ But,” he continued, “in no case was he to blame, and in every case he has been exonerated by the jury. Most of ; these killings were ab‘railroad crossings and _ Al. - A..._..~ Inlvnv n......b~ -_ - V in other similar accidents where the engin- eer could not be held responsible.

That night the sky was con- cealed by black storm clouds, and before the burning district was reached the dark- ness from the windows of the cars seemed impenetrable. Then, as the train proceeded, the horizon became hazilv red. As the train sped on nearer, the blood-red clouds appeared to be tumbling about tumultuous. 1y as if it were a sea. of fire bufl'eted by angry winds.

As the train dashed along the fire sprang up in sheets from crackling, falling trees on either side, and above was a. canopy of shifting,eddying, red smoke. Down the track, beyond the reach of the headlight, there was onlya. red blur. A bridge spanning a deep river was ahead somewhere. Suddenly, immediately in front, Truman saw a. shower of big sparks fly upward. In an instanthe was reversing his engine, and the train was brought to a. standstill just on the edge of the river. It had flashed. over him when he saw the spark: that the bridge was burning, and that a. spar had gallon, sending up, as it went - ---__.I ALA Lâ€"n.n yuan: ‘- w .... __-V. down, a. show of light. He {eved the train and the lives of 300 passengers. There is not one engineer in a. thousand who would have arrived at the conclusion so quickly that the additional transitory light was from the bridge burning. They would have N; -t LLUlu vuv w.-.-D- -_~__v,,, supposed it was an incgnsequential part of the phenomena, and plunged on to destruc- tion. “ The other incident. while not surround~ ‘ cd by the popular hero-like aspect lent by the forest fire and the run through it, was no less heroic, and showed a far greater pres- ence of mind. This was in Ohio too, near Hepburn. His train this time was running at about" the same rate, sixty miles an hour, when the rods on each side of the engine broke, instantly killing the fireman and wrecking the cab. Truman, to save him- self, jamped into the tender. And there he , was isolated, and it were, for the train was i going sixty miles an hour, and the broken i rods were flying madly and beating deafen- u 1 p ,, L:... 1.- _-..-1.

He is only a. young man, but he did something then that many old engineers have since told me they wou'ld never have thought of. He got out his pocket kniie and cut the hose,thereby applying the automatic brake, and succeeded in stopping the train. I would rather ride behind that man,” con- cluded Mr. McCullough, “than any engineer in the United States.” A Cat's Objection to India. A good cat story, comes from Bombay. In August a Liverpool resident proceeding to Bombay took out with him a cat, which he in- tended to present to a friend in India. Some days after the arrival of the steamer in Bom- ‘ bay pussy was missed, and though she was searched for high and low she was nowhere to be found. Her owner had quite given her up for lost when he received intelligence from England that the cat had made her ap- pearance at her old Liverpool home on the ‘ 25th October, as calm and collected as though a trip to India and back was quite in 1 the ordinary course of her life. The facts are vouched for by a Bombay pa er, and there is no reason to doubt their su stantial accuracy, but it is not made clear whether the cat was stowed away in the steamer in which she went out to India, and carried back on its return voyage in the ordinary course.

The orchestra had played nearl 0‘ all its repertoire, in order to prevent m); is audience from noticing the long wait and ‘1‘ still she did not come. When at last she a1 did appear she was accompanied by her 9“ manager, who explained that the artist Was b: suffering from a very unpleasant sore throat and that, though rather than disappoint he; la kind friends she would try to sing her d selection would not be the brilliant aria on the programme, but a. simple, old ballad With a sweeping bow he retired, and thé prelude began. A moment later the singer’s voice fully proved that the sore throat was a stern reality, and not a deep-laid adver. tising scheme, as the wise ones of the audi- once had begun to suspect. She was quite hoarse, and when she reached the high note her voice almost “cracked,” but still the worse she sung and the more nervous she became the more intently the people listen. ed and the more interested they seemed. But in truth, the majority of her hearers were far away in mind, though present, in the flesh, and the sounds they heard were distant ones. The fat man in the corner who looked so intently at the singer’s feet, was thinking of the far away time when somebody had sung the very song to him, and the face at which he mentally gazed was a very difi'erent one from that of his wife, new sound asleep at home. The old maid by his side had a pleasant memory connected with that song, too, and the thought of it brightened her face and made her look so young and pretty that her old admirer across the aisle lost his heart all 0 «er again, and the “wedding bells ” in his left ear came true soon after. ’ The servant girl sitting with her “feller ”‘ in the “nigger-heaven ” grinned and tossed her head when the refrain began and hum- med it softly to herself. “Sure, yer vice is sweeter’n her’n,” whispered the “teller,” and two people were in a state of blissful enjoyment for the next half hour. The gray-haired wrinkled old singing teacher in the parquette sighed and groaned and laugh- ed all at once as he recalled his varied ex- r periences with the well-worn music, and n in front of him two pretty vocal students 0 thought exultantly how beautifully they 13 would be able to sing that song “next ° “LL L--.- W‘lulu W wvav __--° term." Alas ! their teacher, might have told a. difl'erent story, and that kindly old tyrant Time did so eventually, for one of them entered the heavenly college very soon and the other married a plumber.

MUSIC AND THE MCSICIAN. Down in the orchestra seats the first violmist’s face lighted up with a heavenly smile as he listened to the tender tune, for it was associated in his mind with a. happy courtship, a merry wedding day, and thirty- five years of perfect married life. In the first row a young man leaned back ‘ in his seat, and softly, unconsciously whis- pered: “ Good-night, mother.” as "he thought of the long-dead woman who had so often sung him to sleep with that very air. She had intended him to become a Baptist minister, he remembered, with an amusing smile, and last night he had been sent to interview a gambling-house keeper, to-night he sat in the music hall (she had . regarded all such places with holy horror, l as wiles of the evil one,) and he blushed to 09 "Alva v. v..v '- think of where to-morrow might see him.

Wedding marches and merry dance tunes, funeral dirges jangled in soundless melody ; people l and dreams and hopes long dead came back to life again ; babies that had never lived were cradled in loving, lonely arms; goldl mines were discovered, difficulties sur- - mounted, disagreements settled, mountains lclimbed, and oceans crossed. To some it i murmured of still, pleasant country places ; ‘ to others of the moaning sea, while not a few felt for the moment a breath of the fresh wind, which, in childhood, had seem- l ed to blow all troubles away. In some ears and hearts it sung a psalm of thanksgiving, in others it walled a dreary despairing dirge; to others again it was the stirring call of a battle trumpet, but more than all it whispered of the hope and cheer which underlie all human sorrow. And so it came to pass that when the song was ended the applause was deafening and the singer felt obliged to return. Her next selection, a brilliant gavotte, was very well rendered, but the applause was faint and 1 perfunctory, and the astonished artiste wondered why such a musical audience should show so little discrimination. 1f - fora moment she could have looked back of the flowers and congratulations she re- cieved. the manager’s delightful approbation, and the faces of her many new made friends she would have seen that the mem- 1 ories awakened, had pleased all hearts. ”a. .. . QNB OF THE OLD SONGS- Among the recent developments in the world of sports, in Australia, is the train- ing of a. kangaroo to stand up and spar or box with a. human antagonist. An exhibi- tion of this curious kind of combat now takes place regularly at the Royal Aquar- ium, London, and it attracts many spectators. _ 1 . ‘ AI _ __4___-1 l ________ Vvvvv ..... lh'l‘he way in which the natural kangaroo spars in the bush, his birthplace, is peculiar. He places his front paws gentlyâ€"almost lovmglyâ€"upon the shoulders of his anta- gonist}, and then proceeds to disembowel him with a. sudden and energetic movement of one of his hind feet. From this ingenious method of practicing the noble an; of self-defense the kangaroo at the Royal Aquarium has been weaned. The clever instructor of this ingenious marsupial ‘ has trained it to conduct a contest; under the conditions known as the Marquis of Queensberryl’s rules. It cannot be said that '17-, adheres “to these regulations quite so rigidly as the combatants who pummel one another at the National Sporting Club are required to do, On the contrary, it cannot; wholly disabuse itself of the idea, favored by the French, though discountenanced by The Kangaroo as 3 Prize Fighter. the English, that those who are amt have as good a right, to defend themselve with their feet as with their fists. It sfi'ects la actuate in preference to he ban, a. predi- lection which, considering the force with which a. kangaroo can kick, might quite conceivably cause an injury to his antsgon- ist. However, no harm, has us yet been done, and the encounter between human and marsurpial is spirited and novel, and admirably illustrates the power of man to bend the brute creation to his will." A writer in a. recent number of the Dvor- land oMnthly advocates the importation and domestication of the kangaroo in this coun- try. He gives authorities showing the feasi- bility of the project, and believesthe animal could be introduced and raised here with profit. The flesh of the kanguroo is highly esteemed as a. food, and from the hides a valuable leather is made. These are legitiâ€" mate uses 0‘. the animal. But it Is shock. mg to think of degrading so useful a crea- ture down to the level and equal of abrntd human prize fighter. Tndc With the old Country is 61-01" Rapidly.

Owing to the abolition of the sugar duties" the importation of this commodity shows a large increase compared with 1890. \Vith reference to the exports, Canada sent to England in 1890 3,600 dozen of eggs, valued at $820 : last year the record was 3,987,655 dozen, valued at $592,218. In these same years there was a great fallinv off in the shipment of eggs to the United: States. The exports of butter also show a gratifying increase. ISLASD REVENUE REPORT. The figures in the report of the Controller of Inland Revenue for 1892 are most en- ‘couragmg, being considerably in excess of. the previous year. In 1892 the total amount of inland revenue accrued was $8,076,526 as against $6,905,005 in 1891. A decrease is noted in the quantity of malt taken for con- sumption to the extent of about 20 per cent., ascompared with 1890-91, and 121} per cent., as compared with the average of the preceding four years. The total quan- tity was 46,425,882 pounds. This is doubt- less owing to decreased production of malt liquors, on account of the increase of the duty upon malt from one to two cents per 8111 1891 1892 Authentic Cases in Which It Has Been Known to occur. “I have interested myself somewhat in looking up unusual causes of death,” said Dr. Elder, “and have met several well an- thenticated instances where fright was the cause. The English Surgeon General, Fran- cis, tells of a drummer in India across whose legs a harmless lizard crawled while he was half asleep. He was sure that a cobra. had bitten him, and it was too much for his nerves and he died. “Frederick I. of Prussia was killed by fear. His wife was insane, and one day she escaped from her keepers. and, dabbling her clothes in blood, rushed upon her hus- band while he was dozing in his chair. King Frederick imagined her to be the white lady whose ghost was believed to in- variably appear whenever the death of a. member of the royal family was to occur, and he was thrown into a fever and died in six weeks. “But perhaps the most remarkable death from far was that of the Dutch pointer- l’entman, who lived in the seventeenth cenf tury. One day he went into a room full as anatomical subjects to sketch some death:- heads and skeletons for a. picture he intend, ed to paint. The weather was very sultrys and wnile sketching he fell asleep. He was aroused by bones dancing around him and the skeletons suspended from the ceiling ’ clashing together. 1:- ;_I, “It agfit of terror he threw himself out the window, and, though he sustained no sex ions injury, and was informed that a. slight earthquake had caused the commotlon among his ghostly surroundings, he died in a nervous tremor.
